4 Claims. (01. 128-241) This invention relates to a chin massager.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a chin massagerwhich will aid in correcting sagging chins so prevalent among women andmen who are approaching middle age and which will preserve the youthfulchin-line of younger users.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a chin massagerwhich will embody the use of mildly cold applications to the skin andalso as a massaging device, both of these operations being well-knownbeauty aids.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a chinmassager which can be fabricated entirely of plastic and which isadapted to mass production techniques, thereby making the deviceavailable to the user at a relatively low cost.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a chin massager bearingthe above objects in mind which is of simple construction, has a minimumnumber of parts, is easily self-applied, is compact, pleasing inappearance, durable, will have long life and is efiicient in operation.

For other objects and for a better understanding of the presentinvention, reference may be had to the following detailed descriptiontaken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a chin massager embodying the featuresof the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1 andFig. 3 is a perspective view showing the invention in operative use.

Referring now in detail to the figures, and in the practice of myinvention, there is shown a chin massager, referred to collectively asIll, consisting of a. plastic box-shaped container I I open at the topand having the upper edges of its longitudinal side walls concavelycurved for a purpose to be hereinafter described.

A hollow handle I2 is integrally formed to the lower surface of thebottom of the container II at the center thereof and is further securedthereto by four web members I3 integrally formed in the lower surface ofthe bottom of the container II and the handle I2. The web members I3 arepositioned at right angles to each other, as shown in Fig. 2.

An inverted plastic box-shaped cover I 4 is adapted to slide onto thecontainer I I in snug engagement and to be retained thereon by frictionbetween the respective vertical walls of the container I I and the coverI4, the top of the cover being concavely curved so as to lie flush withthe concavely curved longitudinal side walls of the container II, andthe concavely curved side walls of the cover coinciding with theconcavely curved side walls of the container.

The top of the cover I4 is provided with a plurality of spaced openingsI5 substantially the size of a pin-head and for a purpose to behereinafter described. While I have shown eleven parallel rows of fiveperforations per row in the drawing, it should be apparent that anynumber or arrangement of perforations may be used.

As shown in Fig. 2, the cover I4 may be removed manually to provideaccess to the container II, in which a plurality of ice-cubes I6 areplaced. The cover I4 is then replaced on the container I I and thedevice is ready for use,

It should be noted that the top of the cover I4 and the verticallongitudinal walls of the container II are so curved as to fit thecontour of the human chin.

By grasping the handle l2, as shown in Fig. 3, with its integralcontainer and fitted cover housing the ice-cubes, and slapping, in shortstrokes, the top of the cover against the under part of the chin, movingthe device from the jaw-line to under-chin to jaw-line in quick, short,slapping strokes, I have found that by persistent daily use, the deviceso used will aid in correcting the chin sagging so prevalent among womenand men who are approaching middle age. It will also preserve the usersyouthful chin-line in the case of younger people.

It should now be apparent that there has been provided a chin massagerwhich will combine the beneficial operations of mildly cold applicationsto the skin and massage in a single device and operation and which canbe fabricated entirely of plastic in mass production thereby making thedevice available to the user at a relatively low cost.

While various changes may be made in the detailed construction, it shallbe understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope ofthe present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature of my invention, what isclaimed is:

1. A chin massager comprising a substantially box-shaped container openat the top, a handle rigidly secured to the bottom of said container,and a substantially box-shaped cover adapted to slide onto saidcontainer, the top of said cover being concavely curved to conform tothe contour of the human chin and having a plurality of spaced openings,and ice-cubes inside said container.

2. A chin massager comp-rising a substantially box-shaped container openat the top, said container having longitudinal side walls concavelycurved along their upper edges to conform to the contour of the humanchin, a handle rigidly secured to the bottom of said container, asubstantially box-shaped cover adapted to slide onto said container,said cover having longitiudinal side walls concavely curved along theirupper edges to conform to the contour of the human chin and adapted tocoincide with said longitudinal side walls of said container, said coverhaving a concavely curved top to conform to the contour of the humanchin and to lie flush against the concavely curved upper edges of saidside walls of said container, said top of said cover having a pluralityof spaced openings, and icecubes within said container and directlybelow said top of said cover.

3. A chin massager comprising a substantially box-shaped container openat the top, said container having longitudinal side walls concavelycurved along their upper edges to conform to the contour of the humanchin, a handle rigidly secured to the bottom of said container, aplurality of spaced web members rigidly secured to said handle and tosaid bottom of said container, a substantially box-shaped cover adaptedto slide onto said container, said cover having longitudinal side wallsconcavely curved along their upper edges to conform to the contour ofthe human chin and adapted to coincide with said longitudinal side wallsof said container, said cover having a concavely curved top surface toconform to the contour of the human chin and adapted to lie flushagainst the concavely curved upper edges of said side walls of saidcontainer, said top of said cover having a plurality of spaced openings,and ice-cubes within said container and directly below said top of saidcover.

4. A chin massager comprising a plastic substantially box-shapedcontainer open at the top, said container having longitudinal side Wallsconcavely curved along their upper edges to conform to the contour ofthe human chin, a hollow plastic handle integrally formed in the bottomof said container, a plurality of plastic web members integrally formedin and connecting said handle and said bottom of said container, aplastic substantially box-shaped cover adapted to slide onto saidcontainer, said cover having longitudinal side Walls concavely curvedalong their upper edges to conform to the contour of the human chin andadapted to coincide with said longitudinal side walls of said container,said cover having a concavely curved top surface to conform to thecontour of the human chin and adapted to lie flush against the concavelycurved upper edges of said side Walls of said container, said topsurface of said cover having a plurality of spaced openingssubstantially the size of pinheads, and a plurality of ice-cubes withinsaid container and directly below said openings in said top surface ofsaid cover.
